I voted no because if your meds are working and your doing well staying on them will only benefit you. I know being on meds sucks but I’ve come to terms with it.
On the other hand, to play devils advocate, I could say yes, come off them, and then bask in my amusement with all the crazy sh*t you’ll start posting…j/k
I’m lucky I haven’t had voices…. Hopefully will be second time lucky if I quit.
Would have to be stable on 2.5 mg for a while first though.
Doubt I’d come here while psychotic lol. There’s got to be a chance. Two episodes of psychosis could be it.
Does anyone make it off antipsychotics after they’ve had more than one episode? Seems not.
I’ve had three, but I’m off it now
Do you have any symptoms now on 2.5mg aripiprazole?
How long have you been off of aps?
Almost a year. Although I take mood stabilizing supplement, or else I’m in a really dark place.
That’s really good to hear, especially after you’ve had three episodes…… gives me hope for the future!
Yeah for sure… but depends on people I suppose
True… how long were you off of aps between each episode? What’s the longest you’ve managed?
Like a day lol 1515
So third time lucky for you…. Did you taper off of medication and what were you on?
First they put me on olanzapine, but it really didn’t work… I kept on thinking my room mate in the hospital was sending me messages when he was snoring.
Then switched to risperidone 2mg… i was less delusional.
Then got invega sustenna injection 156mg, and tapered on risperidone and discontinued
Im supposed to continue invega sustenna injections, but I left the country and haven’t took it since
Hope everything continues to go well for you.
Thank you for the well wishes compadre! 
you as well! Stay strong
yea i hope things keep going well for you too @Abise
from what country to what country did you move?
I am currently doing better than before. Just like feel like i am walking through mud sort of and plastic bag around my brain sort of
tbh I just have lost my confidence from this condition and I am trying to build it up again.
What about you?? you are on 5mg zyprexa?
I’m doing better and feeling some emotion, which is nice. But similar to you in that I don’t feel completely alive, life is dull and not as rich as it used to be.
Definitely happier on 5mg than I was 10mg.
Just wish I had my old life back tbh though.
